p.1

This provision is inadequate

 Actions taken to address weak areas of practice identified at the previous inspection have not been effective. The childminder has not improved upon how she monitors the quality of her teaching, the assistant's practice and the outcomes for children. Consequently, children's overall needs are not being met.  Children are not provided with sufficient indoor space to meet their individual care and learning needs.  Despite the childminder being well qualified, teaching is weak. The childminder does not plan and provide children with purposeful and challenging activities and experiences. As a result, children do not make good enough progress in their learning and development.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Parents are positive about the service they receive. They state that the childminder and her assistant are welcoming and caring and provide children with lots of affection.  Children are learning to share and understand the needs of others.  Children help themselves to the wide range of play resources that reflects their different interests.

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector evaluated planned activities with the childminder.  The inspector discussed the childminder's self-evaluation. She checked evidence of the suitability of adults living and working on the premises.  The inspector spoke to children during the inspection. She took account of the views of parents from their written comments provided by the childminder.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

The childminder does not monitor and evaluate the quality of her setting effectively. Since the last inspection, there has been limited improvement in the childminder's practice and that of her assistant. Actions taken to improve the organisation of the premises, equipment and children's learning have not been sufficient. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistant have attended training in child protection. They know the actions to take if they are concerned a child is at risk or being harmed.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder and her assistant spend a lot of time supervising children, rather than interacting and extending their learning. This means children are not always engaged or motivated to learn. The childminder observes and assesses children's learning. However, she does not use the information gained to plan challenging experiences appropriate for children's individual stage of development. For example, she does not adapt the environment to help young children to develop their skills in walking. Nevertheless, the childminder finds out from parents what children like doing. She shares some information about children's learning with other providers when children attend more than one setting.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Breaches of the statutory requirements mean that children's well-being and personal development are not promoted well enough. Children of all ages mainly play in a designated playroom. The limited space means that older children struggle to follow their own ideas, such as when trying to complete a floor puzzle. They become frustrated and lose interest when they see other children sitting on and walking over the puzzle they are creating. This does not help children to enjoy success or to feel a sense of achievement. Young children's abilities to move, explore and build are restricted. This does not help them to develop their confidence. The childminder and her assistant are focused on helping children to settle and feel secure. Young children benefit from close interactions when feeling upset or unsure. All children are learning the importance of a healthy lifestyle. They enjoy time to play outdoors in the fresh air. Meals and snacks are nutritious

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children are not prepared well enough for the next stage in their learning or school, when the time comes. They lack concentration. Children are not always helped to think for themselves, to choose how to do things and to be independent. Nevertheless, young children enjoy using their imagination as they pretend to feed a baby doll. Older children develop some literacy skills as they enjoy reading story books with others. Children express their wishes and share their ideas.
